TARIFF MEASURE
SENATE BY V
After Four Months of Debate "ariff
Aot of 1922'' Gets Vote and Goes to
Conference. Ono Itepublien 'No,
Three Democrats, Aye.
.Washington, Aug. 19.-The admin
istration tariff bill, official "the tariff
act of 1922, was passed by a vote of
.18 to 25 late today by the sonate after
four months of debatec, It now goes
to conferente.
.Senator Boriah, of Idaho, was the
only republican to vote against the
'measure. 'Three democrats, Brous
sard, Kendrick and Ransdell, voted
for it.
Senators llarrison and 1) arene,
who were paired, announced that had
they -been permitted to vote they would
have voted against the bill, and the
same announcement was made in be
half of seven democratic absentees:
Caraway, Harris, King, Owen, Pitt
ian, 'Watson, of Georgia, and -Vil
l'iams.
It was stated also that had Sena
tors LaFollette and' Norris been pres
out they would have voted against the
measure, while the other 12 republi
can absentees would 'have voted for it.
-Senators Lenroot and Jones, of
tWlashintgon, :republicans, tynnounced
that they suiported the b)Il because
of the provisions giving , the presi
(lent broad authority to increase or
decrease in the hope that the senate
and the house conferees would re
duce rates which they considered ex
cessive. Senator 'Lenroot said that if
this 'were not done he 'would vote
against the conference report.
Immediately after the passage of
the 1il, Senator Cummin"ns, of Iowa,
presideft pro teniore, annOiuniCed ihe
appointment of the senate conferees:
Chairman Mc.Cuiber and Senator
Smoot, of Utah, and Aleiean, of Con.- t
necticut, ropublican:, and Simmons,
of North Carolina, and Jones, of New
Mexico, democrats. Senator McLean
is the fourth ranking republican on
the 'finance committee and was namedi
in 'place of Senator La Follette, who,
under the usual rule, would have
drawn the assignment, but who is oip
posed to the bill.
The measure will be returned to the
house Mlonday with a formal request
for a conference. Republicans of the I
house ways and means dommittee, at t
a meeting today, decided to have the I
measure sent to conference under a t
special rule, instead of to the ways and I
means committee fr preliminary con- I
sideration, a course that was suggest
ed somie time ago. American valuation t
will be the biggest issue in conference, I
but the general 'belief at the capital
is that the house will yield on this,
accounting the senate "flexible tariff"
plan as a substitute.
Chairman Fordney said today he I
would hold out for American valua
tion, asking instructions from the
house. Tinder this plfAI tile house
woulid (deelde tile issue by a direct
vote and the conferees then would
prtoceed With their work of adjusting
the 2,000-0(dd points in dispute be
twveen the two houses. Mr. 'Fordney
thought the 'work could be completed
withIn a monthl and the same view wvas I
entertained by senate leaders.
Thlere still was gosslip at tnle carpi- s
tal that the bill might get into a dead
lock in confer'ence and there die, hut
lrpublican leaders declared the conl
for'ees would report thle bill out and
that it would be0 ready for the presi- I
dent in a tmonth.
Final action on the bill by tlhe sea
ate was .witnessed by crowded galler
ies and1 many .members of the house,
who found placesa on the senate fleeor.
(In the last few 'minutes before '.he
vote, thte senators relaxed aftet' the
long strain under w-hich they have
worked, frequtently nighlt as well as
day, and they and tihe visitors fo~nd
considerable -amiti'#ment in the clos
ing .proceedings.
'Tis measure, the first r'epu'blicanfl
protective tar'iff to be written in '13
years, became an even gireafleri
storm cether sin senate thlan is tile
(Payne-Aldrich ibill of 1909, 'Irom the
start democrats assaulted it in fuill
for'ce and even highler than tile 1909
law and as the debate developed op
position to individual sections began
to 'find expression on tile republican
side.
ISoon after senate cons~ideration1
began on Aipril 20, the finance .com
(nittee majority which' hlad labored
'with -the legislation for' eight
months, began to rewrIte smany of thle
rates. Occasionally the senate added
to thlell' work 'by direct vote with a
result that as .passed the 'bill differed
swidely from t'hat re.1orted1 to tile sen
ate last April 11..
Chairman- MdCtumiber, .of t-he fin
ance committee, whoe l)~loted tile mieas
ure thtrou~gh thle'senate, said in a form
al statement tonight, reviewing its)
'provisions, It was estimnated thati It
would yield more thlan $400,000,000 in
reoyenue dutring tile ifirst year it 'was in
operation. This is htalf a pmillion mhore
than 'has 'been' yielding by any tariff
in the history of the country.

SHEALY SAYS COAL
SITUATION IS ACUTE
Declares Useless E'lectric Signs, Street

ture Shows May Close. -
'Columila, ug. 19.-The coal situa
tion in South Carolina Is most acute
Frank iW. Shealy, chairmanl olf the
railroad commission, said today upon
his return from Washington. Useless
electric signs, street lights, -white ways
%nd'possibly moving picture shows will
have to be dis-pensed with in all prob
ibility, 'Mr. Shealy said. This will be
accessary to conserve electric power.
Some of thc lower classes of in
liustries may also be forced to shut
lown he declared.
Wh4le the visible supply of coal
io far as the nation is concerned is
ess than has ever been known, tem
porary arrangements have been made
)etweeni Mr. Shealy and the fuel ad
nilistration in 'Wlashington, that if
naintained will prevent actual suffer
iig in South Carolina. Without which
trrangement unquestionable this state
)f affairs 'would exist. Conditions will
>e much 'benefited with the thorough
'o-operation of the pu.blic, which cv
!1n under -present arrangements is ,)ab
;olutely necessary to prevent incon
renience and actual suffering (luring
he winter months to many of the citi
:ens of this state, Mr. Shealy said to
lay.
I, is Mr. Slicaly's opinion at this
.ime that all useless or unnecessary
ise of hydro-electric power now
tsed in electric signs, white ways, un
IecCessa ry si -et lighting, possibly
floving picture shows and things of
hat. kind, will iecessarii ly ha e to be
liSpLeIIsed with.
Some of the lower clas.;'ed inldu1s
ries no doubt will have to close down
ts has already been (lone in mny in
;tances in tihe greater portion of the
Inited States, Mr. Shoaly said. The
liversion of the hydro-electric 'power
ised at tills time for what would be
ermed as non-essentials will greatly
tid. How long this state of affairs
vill exist, no one seems to be able to
>roph esy.
'Phe cotton oil mills, as food produc
ng utilities, have the promise under
>resent conditions of one-third of
heir normal supply. Gas plants, ice
>lants and similar utilities it is hoped
o maintain continued operation, al
owIng where possible hydro-electric
iower ,be substituted ift 'place of steam.
f may 'become necessary that a por
ion of these utilities will ha-ve to be
mit on short time where it is pos
ible to do so.
,What should ,be done and what Is
xpected of the public Is not to be
tampeded but to co-operate and cv
ry effort should be used to obtain
other fuel for domestic purposes, Mr.
3hcaly emphasized.
